Looks like Trulia.com has become a lot more valuable website.
The advantage of MLS powered sites over sites like Trulia and Zillow who get listings directly from brokers & agents is that MLS powered sites have more inventory and are the authoritative source for the status of the listing.
In this case it is unfortunate that agents are marking a listings as do not display on the MLS but then go ahead and put it on Trulia. I must say that I don’t understand why they’d do that![/quote]
Me neither. If I was a seller, I’d be hopping mad that my listing wasn’t spammed everywhere possible.

ParticipantOnce again, my advice to people would be to use ALL resources and not limit yourself to any single favorite resource.
The large national third party guys are good to use just like other local guys. SDLOOKUP is great but is limited to San Diego County feeds. I have seen cases of listings not on SDLOOKUP but found on Realtor.com and Zillow because they were NOT entered into Sandicor from the out of area agent. Similarly it was NOT on the Sandicor MLS feed as well because it was out of area.
Similarly if you want to get everything that is on the Sandicor MLS, simply ask your agent to send it to you.
That way you can use the MLS, you can use Redfin/Zillow/SDLookup/Trulia etc. Using all of them will help you get as much data as you like.
*************
Also note as we have said… many reo properties are not on the MLS when they first are assigned to an agent. Signs go up and are in place for quite awhile in some cases. So get in the car and drive.
*************
Lots of avenues to follow but you may need to put in the legwork.
